Crochet Women’s Gladiator Sandals

The warm weather has been wonderful here. Not too hot during the day with lovely warm evenings and nights. I am excited to get my kids up to the mountains for a camping trip. Since we have been spending so much time outside, I feel like I have been working less (which is good), but I had to work like a madwoman to get these Crochet Women’s Gladiator Sandals done this week.

Luckily, they don’t take too long to make. I have decided to split a fair booth with a friend this year, and I have considered making a few pairs for my table. We will see if I can find the time!

Construction:

Finish the sandals by sewing the tips of the strap in place on the sole. Their placement does not need to be exact, but you can use this photo as a guide:

Using your hook and a length of yarn, bring it in and out through the stitch on the shoe and the end of the strap until you have a secure hold. Tie a firm knot on the inside, hiding the knot and securing your ends.

Sew the bottom straps in the middle stitch, between where the top straps begin on the shoe, and where they are sewn(about 3 stitched up from the top strap). Interweave them so they go over and under (or under and over).

Using your hook and a length of yarn, bring it in and out through the stitch on the shoe and the end of the strap until you have a secure hold. Tie a firm knot in the inside, hiding the knot and securing your ends.

Weave in all other ends.

So here is the chunky version. However, I am curious, would you be interested in a medium-weight version as well?

Comments

Those looking for larger sizes, I haven’t tried it, but it appears, by comparing the two sets of instructions, that some instructions are 2 stitches greater, some are 1 stitch greater, others remain the same. So logic follows that the next size up should follow the same properties. Good luck!

Please share a medium weight version :) right now Im making a pair with rh with love. Im a size 7, but using size nine and just adding extra rounds. Im still keeping it 58 stitches though that way I can hack it to fit my foot.

Please add my interest for a worsted weight pattern. I live in the tropics and chunky yarn is not available here. I’m lucky if I can find worsted weight. Most of the yarn is baby or lace weight and occasionally sport weight. A worsted weight pattern would be great. Thanks for all the great slipper patterns. I don’t need them to keep my feet warm which is why I like these sandals to cushion my feet from the tile floors..

Yes, I would make them if I could make them out of worsted weight yarn! I ran out of chunky yarn along time ago, but I refuse to buy more yarn until I reduce the stash I already have! 😀 If you can, will you write the same pattern for a size 10 foot? Thanks!
